It’s an opportunity to learn something new and exceed your expectations of yourself. When I mastered using my Creative Cutter I felt the exact same way. It’s a feeling of accomplishment because there are so many new and exciting things to learn. There can also be challenges, but they are easy to overcome with a little practice and determination. Here are some suggestions when you are cutting paper and the start and stop points are not matching up correctly. ]]> http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/09/01/starting-and-stopping-in-the-right-direction/feed 3 http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/08/25/when-to-press-the-right-buttons http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/08/25/when-to-press-the-right-buttons#comments Wed, 25 Aug 2010 11:00:28 +0000 Tatum Clark http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/?p=4438 Have you ever wondered what the arrow buttons are for on the top of your Inspiration? These buttons make it easier for you to align the starting position of your blade over the top of your desired starting position on your paper.]]> http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/08/25/when-to-press-the-right-buttons/feed 3 http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/08/18/feathered-paper http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/08/18/feathered-paper#comments Wed, 18 Aug 2010 11:00:25 +0000 Tatum Clark http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/?p=4371 Have you started cutting your most recent project and found that your cuts aren’t as clean as you remember them being in the past? It’s certainly easy to forget how long you’ve been using the same blade. Here are some ways to help you determine if you need to change out your blade.]]> http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/08/18/feathered-paper/feed 0 http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/08/11/installing-the-inspiration-updates http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/08/11/installing-the-inspiration-updates#comments Wed, 11 Aug 2010 16:45:00 +0000 Tatum Clark http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/?p=4324 As an Inspiration user you always have access to the latest updates for the Inspiration.

It’s always fun to get new cutting files. It’s kind of like getting a small present! ]]> http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/08/04/taking-the-time-to-share/feed 2 http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/07/28/doing-the-twist http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/07/28/doing-the-twist#comments Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:00:25 +0000 Tatum Clark http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/?p=4202 There are so many products out there that we as Inspiration users are excited to try and cut. From time to time you may find that you have better luck with one product over another as far as how easy they are to cut through and the results you will get in the end. With a bit of experience you’ll find that by varying pressure, speed, and blade length you can get great cuts out of almost any material. Most of this comes with practice and patience as you find what settings work best for you. ]]> http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/07/28/doing-the-twist/feed 0 http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/07/21/inspiration-unable-to-be-detected-by-computer http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/07/21/inspiration-unable-to-be-detected-by-computer#comments Wed, 21 Jul 2010 11:00:10 +0000 Tatum Clark http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/?p=4148 Have you ever had trouble getting your computer to recognise your Creative Cutter? While there can be a lot of variables as to the reason that this happens, a good place to start is looking at your power source. Since the power source that the Inspiration is plugged in to will vary from household to household, it is wise to take in to consideration what kind of an area you live in. Are you prone to power outages or power surges?]]> http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/07/21/inspiration-unable-to-be-detected-by-computer/feed 2 http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/07/14/replacing-your-blade http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/07/14/replacing-your-blade#comments Wed, 14 Jul 2010 11:00:07 +0000 Tatum Clark http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/?p=4124 A dull blade can cause your paper to shred or cut inconsistently. Over time, you’ll find that cutting certain materials will make the blade dull more quickly. So it is always wise to keep extra blades on had so that you can change them out as frequently as you will need to. ]]> http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/07/14/replacing-your-blade/feed 2 http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/07/07/4069 http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/07/07/4069#comments Wed, 07 Jul 2010 11:00:34 +0000 Tatum Clark http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/?p=4069 For all of you card makers that are using the Inspiration to cut your welded salutations and embellishments. It can be pretty easy to get discouraged with the quality of the cuts depending on the font selection that you use. One of the reasons for this is because of the amount of detail and generally the size of the words that go on such a small pallet like a card. ]]> http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/07/07/4069/feed 3 http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/06/30/score-marks-on-your-mats http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/06/30/score-marks-on-your-mats#comments Wed, 30 Jun 2010 16:27:05 +0000 Tatum Clark http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/?p=3960 Today I picked up my mat and looked at all the scratch marks, titles, and images that I’ve cut at one time or another. As a seasoned Inspiration user, I know that it’s normal to see all the things I’ve cut on my mat. In fact, it would be almost impossible to avoid it from happening since the blade lightly scores the mat as it cuts your images. ]]> http://www.pazzles.net/wordpress/2010/06/30/score-marks-on-your-mats/feed 0
